Ruth has been slowly working on a shadow applique project. Progress certainly has been slow and here is a photo of one lone block.
She hopes to finish some more soon to make a quilt for a special person.
Shadow applique involves placing organza over the raw edge applique shapes. Ruth uses 2 rows of machine stitching around each shape. This finishes off the edges and creates an overall delicate picture. A twin needle would give the same effect but tension problems would easily cause puckering.
